Favorite psychos in cinema?

I agree, but I also really liked Mads Mikkelen as Hannibal as well.

Not a fictional character, but I thought Paul Bettany did a fantastic job as Ted Ted Kaczynski in Manhunt: Unabomber.

over the line!

I haven't seen any of the realistic.

In fiction a lot of times the mix psychopathic traits with feelings and not psychopathic traits.i think that makes the character more appealing than a pure psychopath wouldn't be likeable as a character imo.it would lack depth or interest.but i have to see that movie first and that character

I saw a video the other day,i can't link right now,that a psychologist said about movie roles and what disorders they are and if they are accurate.
I remember the end that said one sherlock had more autistic traits than psychopathic and the woman in "gone girl" is psychopathic.
I remember i liked that movie but i don't remember what happed anymore.

The comments about iconic terrifying haircut also are funny.in no country for old men

I don't often watch movies to be honest but I watched one called Cape Fear many years ago and I think it was Robert De Nero who played the role of a psychopath.

I really enjoyed that movie and the character.
